Thank you so much for taking a moment to check out my new website.  I’m so excited you’re here – and, of course, am happy that the release of my first women’s fiction book, Beaded Hope, is now just weeks away – March 1^st!

In celebration of the occasion, I’d like to announce my Beaded Hope-You’re-A-Winner Giveaways.  Each week in March, I’ll not only be giving away a copy of Beaded Hope. BUT – lucky winners will also receive a charming bracelet, authentically handcrafted by a South African woman who is a part of the real Beaded Hope organization, the non-profit that inspired my book.

So please sign up to win!  And please pass along the news to your girlfriends, sisters, mothers, and daughters, too!

Because when it comes right down to it, that’s really what Beaded Hope is all about – women.  Women, and the power of our faith and hopes to overcome even the direst circumstances.  It’s also about the endearing, sometimes surprising, ways we connect, bond, inspire one another – no matter if we live right across town from each other or halfway around the world.  And isn’t it so wonderful God made us that way?

Just so you know, I will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this novel directly to Beaded Hope. Obviously I’m hoping you’ll enjoy my fictional story, but in the meantime a purchase of the book means you’ll be creating a story too – a real one of hope and survival for another woman on the other side of the globe.

In the meantime, I hope you’ll check back to this site for updates and blogs.  Sign up for my every-so-often newsletter or friend me on Facebook.  It’ll sure warm my heart if you do!

Thank you for your caring and sharing!

Hugs and blessings to you,

"In BEADED HOPE, character development is strong, and the reader will be deeply touched on an emotional level. The amazing spirit of the women shines through the darkness."
